MRS. GALT'S BUYER BARRED BY PARIS French Dressmakers Refuse to Sell Gowns to German From the United States. Paris,; Nov. "19. The Paiis dress makers' syndicate has blacklisted two American customers of Geiman origin one of them a man named Kurzmann, reputed to have been commissioned to buy gowns for Mrs. Norman Gait, who is to be the bride of President Wil son, according to Gustav Tery's news paper l'Oeuvre. The newspaper avers Kurzmann has threatened to raise a diplomatic ques tion because of the modiste's refusal to accept orders from him. L'Oeuvre declares, however, that each house from which he ordered gowns has of fered to supply them with its compli ments to Mrs. Gait without having them pass through the hands of an in termediary. Paul Poiret, president of the dress makers syndicate, is absent from Paris. His confidential secretary, however, confirmed the statement that Kurzmann has threatened to raise a diplomatic question over th'e declina tion of the modistes to fill his orders for gowns which he maintains are in tended for Mrs. Gait. Syndicate Stands Pat. "You may declare that no members of our syndicate will deliver gowns to Kurzmann, or through Kurzmann or any other German house," said the secretary. "At the same time each or every member of the syndicate would be proud to be honored with a com mission to make a gown for President Wilson's fiancee and would be most happy if permitted to present it with its compliments." Rue de la Paix and other leading houses refuse tos tate whether or not they have had orders for gowns. A Paris dispatch early this month said Charles Kurzmann of New York was there to select gowns for the wedding of President Wilson and Mrs. Gait. He was quoted as saying that while it "would be indiscreet to talk about clothes ordered by the Wrilson family before obtaining permission trom the White house," he felt that 4 Washington can look forward to a brilliant social season after the wed ding."

HUSSANE HAS MET THE BEST OF MAT MEN SINGE COMING HERE Chicago, Nov. 21. ) Special.) When one looks over the record of this fellow, Hussane, the wonderfully pro portioned Turk, who is to meet Joe' Stecker in the big Lincoln match on Thanksgiving afternoon, one is im pressed by the fact that he really is one of the really good foreigners sent to this country in the last seven or eight years. There have been a flock of them at different times, but only a few of them amount to much. As a matter of fact the names of Zbyszko, Mahmout, Hackenschmidt and Hussane stand out prominently. The remainder of them and there were dozens never amounted to more than passing good. They didn't even stand up for one season. It is not generally known that Hus sane never lost two straight falls dur ing his entire career, and the single falls that he did have declared against him were lost to some great men. In 1910, when George Hacken i.thmidt, then the practically undefeat ed "Russian Lion," was touring the country in a kind of triumphal man ner and challenging Frank Gotch, the champion, right and left, he dropped into Dallas, Tex., one night for a bout with some man that the promoter there had picked out for him. Never scenting danger in any way. Jack Curley.then managing Hackenschmidt, had wired that he didn't care whom they picked as an opponent. When the "Lion" walked onto the mat he discovered Hussane in front of him. They went to it at once and, to the great surprise of everybody, the Turk gave the famous German-Russ the fight of his life. The first fall went two hours and three minutes be fore "Hack" was able to pin the swathy ones shoulders to the canvas. And then it was said that Hussane wrenched one of his knees or other wise they might have been wrestling yet. Hussane matched himself with Zbyszko, the elder, one night in Louis ville. He believed he could win. They went on the level, but it took over an hour before the Turk was convinced that he was up against it. He weighed but 185 pounds at the time against the terrible 235 pounds that the famous Pole hurled against him. Departs for California. This afternoon Rev. Father M. A. Shine departed, in company with Dr. Edward Russell and Dr. Simon Rus sell, of Springfield, Massachusetts', for a three weeks' visit at points of interest in California, including the expositions at San Francisco and San Diego, and while there Father Shine will view the old Spanish missions arid enjoy a trip down into Mexico, returning home via Texas. Father Shine and the Drs. Russell are old schoolmates and friends and the trip will be very much enjoyed by the gen tlemen in each other's company.

SERBIANS BATTLE IN LAST HOPE OF SAVINGCOUNTRY ALLIES MUST COME SOON Berlin Beliees the Beginning of the End at Hand Still Time to Aid. Savs Minister. Berlin, Nov. 21. (Via London.) The Serbian army is fighting tonight for the last time. Doubtless there will still be guerilla engagements. The Seibs are at the beginning of the end, however, so far as further resistance in an organized body is concerned. What will inevitably be the final en counter opened b'-tween the Austrians and Serbs at the foot of Kopuonik plateau, southeast of Uaski. The Ger mans are at Raska, which is thirty miles north and a little west of Kos sovo, where the Serb main army is en camped. On this field Serbi lost its liberty to the Turks centuries ago. The Austrians were at Golija, thiry five miles northwest, but pushing for ward moie rapidly than the Germans, and passing to the southeast of Raska, were first to encounter the Serb out posts. Made Rapid Progress. The Germans and Bulgarians, how ever, had made unexpected rapid pro gress at the southern extremity of the plain. They have entered the Pristina basin from the northeastward, to nights' official reports stated. Pristina is twenty miles south and a trifle east of the plain. Thus the Serbs are already at grips with the Austrians on the north, are about to be attacked by Bulgar-Ger-man forces in the south and confront a solid body of Germans, Austrians and Bulgars to the eastward. To the west of them, twenty miles away, is the Montenegrin border. The Berlin war office believes them practically certain to be, not only de feated, but surrounded and captured in a body. In any event, officials said, there is no chance for them better than flight from the country into Montenegro. There is Still Time. London, Nov. 21. "By coming to the rescue in sufficient force within four weeks the fillies can yet save Serbia," declared Serbian Minister Boskovitch tonight. "She is not lost forever," he added, "and will not be lost if the allies help us." Official advices fully confirming earlier stories of the massacres the invaders are perpetrating and the de vastation wrought in the territory they have traversed have just reached the minister. "I am not so much concerned as to the military situation." he said, "for that, I have already expalined, can be retrieved, as over the pitiable plight of the wretched Serbian people. "Those who have found refuge in Greece are receiving protection and organized aid under the direction of Princess Demidoff, wife of the Rus sian minister at Athens, but the con dition of those in Montenegro and Al bania is hopeless unless relief comes to them speedily from the outside world." A want ad in the Journal will bring results. No. 1914 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE- FIRST NATIONAL BANK At Plattsmouth, in the State of Ne braska, at the close of business November 10th, 191.

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 21. Villa's re treatng army lost GOO dead and 900 wounded in one of the bloodiest en gagements fought since the battle of Agua Prieta, when it was attacked yesterday afternoon at Alamito, Sonora, by Carranzasta forces under General Manuel Dieguez. Alamito is twenty miles north of Hermosillo. The battle last for five hours, ac cording to a report today from Cen tral Alvaro Obregon. The Carranza leader also claims the capture of two cannon, six machine guns, 400 rifles and several carloads of provisions and other war supplies. The Carranza losses are 150 killed and wounded. Villa forces of General Jose Rodreiguez have broken through the cordon placed around Cananea by General Obregon and are rushing to the assitance of Villa. The retreating Villa forces are be ing hotly pursued by General Diefluez, Carranza defender of the capital. Some of the retreating troops had reached as far north as Imuris by railroad and General Obregon has diverted his troops attacking Cananea to the west to cut off the escape of Villa's men to Xogales. General Obregon today sent a courier from Del Rio with a message addressed to General Jose Rodreiguez, commander of the Villa forces in Cananea, demanding his surrender. If a reply is not received before to morrow noon General Obregon threat ens to cut off the water supply of the town. According to Carranista officials here General Villa himself is moving eastward from his headquarters at Magdalena with 3,000 men. According to Major Demetrio Syl van, an officer of Villa's body guard. Villa several days ago gave orders to the 3,000 men in his picked body to "bring in General Obregon, dead or alive." ''Until you have captured or killed Obregon you will not returned to the main army," was Villa's final injunc tion. Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 21. To prevent the main Villa army, reported retreat ing from Hermoillo, from reaching Nogales, General Alvaro Obregon, Carranza commander in northern Mexoca, has bridge burning squads operating along the Hermosillo-No-gales railway line. A skirmish today at Labota, eight miles east of Santa Cruz, on the Del Rio Nogales branch of the Southern Pacific, is reported in advices reaching here tonight to have resulted in checking Obregon's west ward movement temporarily. Obregon reports, however, indicate that the Villa forces withdrew after an hour's fighting.
